Nuclear radiation detection has become a prime importance in today's world owing to the huge destruction capabilities and security threats. The neutron detection 3He is currently the dominant material in neutron detection equipment. However, new materials are expected to replace the 3He, which is the biggest growth factor in the radiation detection industry. 3He is the byproduct of tritium production in nuclear weapons manufacturing, which is the major source of obtaining 3He. However, due to the end of cold war, the stock of 3He has decreased significantly. Hence to meet the increasing demand of neutron detection materials, the substitutes such as 10B and 6Li loaded glass or coated fibers are being used.

The report covers the neutron detection market with respect to technology including Geiger counter, Spectroscopy, Organic Scintillator, and Neutron Sandwich. When excited by radiation, the scintillation materials emit a flash of light. These materials are in the form of crystals and paired with a photomultiplier tube, which converts the light flash into an electric signal that indicates the intensity and quantity of the observed radiation. Organic Scintillors is the dominant technology in the neutron detection market.

The report also identifies & analyzes different driving and restraining factors which are currently impacting the neutron detection market and expected to impact at greater extent in coming years. Similarly, the geographic and application based opportunities are also analyzed in the report. The pricing analysis, value chain analysis, suppliers and OEMs analysis, and technology evolution trends are analyzed in the report.

The report gives detailed insights on the geographical analysis with coverage of North America, Europe, APAC, Middle-East, Africa, and Latin America. The country level analysis is also covered in the report with special focus on developing and developed nations.

The market entropy section of the report gives insights on major business development strategies adopted by the leading vendors of neutron detection. The major strategies are new product launches and developments, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and agreements.
